Responsibilities:
A staff scientist position is immediately available in the Data Science Lab of Jeff Leek at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. The Data Science Lab focuses on democratizing education and resource awareness for data science and computational biology, with the ultimate goal of empowering more people to successfully use data science. This position will focus on the development of education materials such as those located here (www.itcrtraining.org/courses) aimed at cancer researchers to improve their awareness of best practices, software, data, and other computational resources. We target our materials for two major audiences, those who are new to informatics and those who already work in informatics. In addition, the position may involve some work on survey analysis, code development for education resources and other projects, as well as the writing of manuscripts that describe particularly novel concepts for best practices of software development or computational biological work. This position will require self-motivation, an interest in scientific writing, coding, and working with a team. The Data Science Lab has broad expertise in computational biology, data science, programming, biology, statistics, and education. The lab provides a vibrant research environment for career advancement toward top-tier academic or industry positions. This position will be supported by NCI UE5 CA254170, a multi-year grant.
JOB DUTIES:
- Design, build, and maintain education materials and tools for use by the scientific community.
- Publish education material on various public course content platforms (leanpub, coursera).
- Teach materials in live workshops in various locations around the US.
- Work collaboratively on multiple projects to help democratize data science.
Qualifications:
- A PhD, MD, or equivalent (or completion prior to start date), ideally in biochemistry, cancer biology, neuroscience, cell biology, developmental biology, molecular biology, computer science, biomedical engineering, or related field.
- Experience with education, training, teaching, blogging, scientific writing, or similar is required.
- Experience with computational biology research is required.

- The names and email addresses of two references.
- Two publications or preprints featuring your work.
- A sample of scientific writing, blog, or another form of education material.
